Bestselling suspense novelist Lisa Unger is based here in Pinellas County. Her new book, Last Girl Ghosted, comes out on October 5 and was named one of the Most Anticipated Books of 2021 by Crimereads. Unger’s critically-acclaimed thrillers have sold millions of copies and been translated into 30 languages. Her work has been on “Best Book” lists from the Today show, Good Morning America, Entertainment Weekly, Amazon, Goodreads and more. In 2019, she received two Edgar Award nominations, an honor held by only a few authors, including Agatha Christie. Though she writes dark psychological thrillers, Lisa Unger is a warm and down to Earth working mom. Her conversation with Barbara St. Clair is rich in laughter, as she shares how stories and characters reveal themselves to her, and what she’s driven to explore as she digs deep into stories.
